New Delhi: End of the world? Chris McCann, the founder of the fringe Christian group eBible Fellowship, claims that the world is going to end today!

He confidently claims that the Earth will be completely “annihilated.” To substantiate his claims, he said, ''According to what the Bible is presenting, it does appear that 7th October will be the day that God has spoken of: in which, the world will pass away.”

Mr McCann claims that the earth will be obliterated "with fire" after it was claimed last month that the super blood moon would trigger a chain of events that will see Earth destroyed within seven years.

"God destroyed the first Earth with water, by a flood, in the days of Noah. And he says he'll not do that again, not by water. But he does say in 2nd Peter 3 that he'll destroy it by fire," McCann said.

Earlier, this group had based its prediction of an October obliteration on a previous claim that the world would end on 21 May 2011. While that proved to be false, the organization is confident it has the correct date this time.

"There's a strong likelihood that this will happen," McCann said. "Which means there's an unlikely possibility that it will not."
